My sympathies to his family and yours. I recall a family friend "bleeding out" from some sort of throat cancer. He knew too. He took a bath, got cleaned up and palced himself where he wouldnt make a mess and let it happen. My Granmother found him the next day. She was pretty upset. I hope this story isnt offensive to anyone... Lifes a real basher sometimes..Will it weld? I loooove electricity!

I am very sorry to here of your loss of a close friend. I too have lost 2 very close friends of mine with-in the last 4 years. There is not a day go by that I do not think of them. I miss them dearly. I threw my back out a couple of weeks ago and was laid up in bed for a week and could not work. It was then I realized you can have a nice shop and all the tools and toys it can hold but if you dont have your health they are worthless.

Sorry to hear that bro.
I've been up & down that road before myself,
and I've figured out that Cancer is a manifstation of the devil himself.
